Jeff
Good evening, badass on the chain family. Get ready, buckle up. Because tonight, crypto, geopolitics colliding harder than we've ever seen it.
Chip
Yeah, Ripple just walked straight into Solana territory. What? What? They basically planted a flag. That's right. XRP army heading behind enemy lines, so to speak, as Ripple hits the Solana Conference 2026 main stage.
Jeff
Wow, that sounds exciting. And this is the showdown that nobody out there expected. XRP versus Seoul. This is the final battle, the final narrative liquidity and institutional dominance. Man, it's exciting.
Chip
And so, while the crowd's still processing that, XRP quietly did the unthinkable. That's right. It led all ETF inflows, beating Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Solana, man.
Jeff
Even Solana. That's crazy. And then Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, he finally admitted that he's been wrong this entire time. About what? Oh, about crypto. And when the world's largest asset manager bends the knee, you know, something big is coming, I'll tell you that.
Chip
Speaking of shifting, Jeff, Flair just launched well upcoming Firelight Defi safety layer that could fix the exact structural issues everyone's been screaming about for. Well, I don't know if it's years, but for some time anyway.
Jeff
For decades, man. So.
So crypto is actually catching fire right now. It's heating up hotter than we've seen it in a long time. But meanwhile, America dealing with its own explosion. It's not financial.
Chip
Then we've got nationwide Somalia linked fraud. This is the biggest story to come around in a long time. And it's Tim Walls, who is the governor, who is in full blown panic mode. Basically weaponized DEI governor is under investigation. Ilhan Omar, she's melting down on camera. We have all of that for you in a bit, man.
Jeff
And then take another step in that direction. Care c a I R the Council of American Islamic relation facing a terrorist designation. That's right. And then you also have a bunch of Republicans flipping seats they were told they would lose by 20 points. And everyday Americans out there saying enough is enough. You look around the world, people everywhere are saying enough.
Chip
Had it up to here. Well, actually up to here. I mean, this is basically what look at as the collision point. You got money, you got power, corruption, national security and the future of digital assets.
Jeff
And chip, if everybody out there, you guys want the truth, the context, the receipts, well, you are in the right place.
Chip
You can't handle the truth. Jeff, this is. And what is this on the chain? Let's get into it. Let's go.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, everybody.
Marco Rubio
Hey.
Chip
Hey, everybody. Where is everybody?
Jeff
Where is it?
Chip
Let me get pilot in here. Greetings from celebration. Let's do it. Says fire tiger. Beautiful. And then we've got scasselpoos.
In the caboose and scapoose, whatever it may be. The skippoose. Yeah, that's what it is. That's what it is.
My pillow versus tampon Timmy, Governor of Minnesota.
Jeff
That's pretty funny.
Chip
What a dope he is, man. What a dope.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Chip
David. David Schwartz was recently in. Yeah. Five inches of snow here. Beautiful. Well, you'll see lots of snow on the video tonight, boy. You'll see lots of that stuff getting into some yeti. Yeti country did get it right once. Well, we're not. We're not too big on memories here. We got short term memory loss over here. So once is good enough. Rod, I think once you have to.
Jeff
Say it like 10, 20 times.
Chip
Just look it up. We'll have to do it. Yeti already. Rod's already going for you. That's funny because I haven't set the yeti meter yet. Oh, shoot. Hang on a second. I just realized something.
Charles, that's the wrong one selected. Well, I read had the wrong one selected. Jeff, we have upcoming exciting show. We got two entries in there, which is fantastic, by the way.
Jeff
Fantastical.
Chip
It's fantastic.
Jeff
We got some videos piling up. We got the crypto, we got the geopolitics. We got a lot of stuff going. Got some really cool things that we're going to dive into right now. We got some David Schwartz and some Hugo from, you know that. That thing. You know the thing, Jeff, you know the thing.
Chip
You know who made that famous? You know that was none other than.
Then what's his name?
Jeff
Sleepy Joe.
Chip
Sleepy Joe. That's right. Sleepy Joe will. He'll be Sleepy Joe for. For the rest of his years that he has here.
Jeff
It was Brandon.
Chip
Sleepy Joe. Someone's saying that. Someone's messaging me saying that it's not available. It's. For some reason it's not streaming on X or something. So I got a screenshot sent to me and it says it's not. I don't know if you guys are experiencing that. Anybody on X? Right there. Okay. All right. We're very. We're good. We're back on. I thought there was some weird thing going on, but. No, I think everything's okay. Sometimes you gotta read just so good. Everybody's cool.
Jeff
Little by little.
Chip
My babies. Be cool. Be cool. So David Schwartz had this one of these ask me anythings. You know, where you go in there and you basically ask him anything. Because that's why they're called AMAs. Ask me anything. And I pulled somebody. Vet had posted this online, and vet posted this thing, and I thought it was interesting because, you know, we, the community always thinks like they were. Oh, thanks. Appreciate that. The community always has this feeling that when the XP XRPL was being formed and everything was going on, like they feel like they were just scientists sitting around David Schwartz and Brito, and they were all kind of hanging out and they were going through things methodically and all these little plans. And the way David tells the story, it doesn't really seem that way. It's kind of like. Kind of tells a story that it was like flying an airplane while they were building it, right? So it was just like chaos. Like, we're always looking back. Like, you know, in the beginning when they were thinking about this, they weren't thinking about smart contract, and they were just trying to get a product working. So I'm gonna play this video of David succinctly telling a great story. And what I like about David Schwartz is he's very transparent. He doesn't hold anything back. And I'll tell you what, it'll probably get way more transparent way after the 31st of December, when he's no longer on the Ripple payroll, although he still will because he'll be a board member, but I think he's going to be a little bit more free to roam. Jeff.
Jeff
But, yeah, not an employee.
Chip
Don't tell the story, guys. We'll get. We'll get your thoughts on the way back time.
Jeff
The least of my thoughts was how will this hold up over the next decade? Right? Because, like, at the time, it was like you jumped out of an airplane with hoping you have everything you need to make a parachute, you know, because, like, you have a certain amount of time, you have very little money, you have only so much credibility. You only have an office for another, you know, two months. And we had to hit get things working. And half the time we would build things and throw them out because they weren't the right thing. So you don't want to build something fantastically. And they're like, oh, actually we should have built this other thing. Throw that out. And you spent 12 hours perfecting it. And if you look at the early GitHub, the GitHub repository is public. You can look at the early stages where, like, Arthur And I committed multiple times a day and we were basically using the GitHub, like email.
You know, we never, we, we left. You know, it's all, it's all there. So you can see how rapid our progress was in early 2012. It was crazy, man.
Chip
Yeah. So early 2012 was just trying to get things working right. And you weren't thinking about, you're just thinking about like tomorrow, like hey, can we get this, can we get this going tomorrow? What about the rest of the week? What about the end of the month? The way he tells the story about like if they had enough time to actually think about, you know, they had an office time and they had, they had a burn rate. Right. So they had to get some stuff accomplished. They had to get ship something. So. But everybody always has these like grand ideas about. Well they were doing this like they spent years putting this together. This was built pretty quick, right. And a lot of, a lot of time and, and thoughts went into it. But it was very live from his parents basement. No, that's not, that's. I think that's a fake background. I don't think David's sitting in a bedroom somewhere.
Jeff
It almost looked fake.
Chip
And it's, and it's way too, and that bedroom is way too clean because you see David's office, it's like, it's a mess. It's got stuff hanging, it's got stuff hanging out all over the damn place. Right? So we got this. Biden equals a pinot pudding skull. Okay. That's what you say and that's what it is. That's what most people. That must be the thing. You know the thing, Jeff, you know the thing. You know the thing. So, so we kind of teased that a little bit in the beginning and talked about Ripple going behind enemy lines. It's just joking of course. There's no, there's no bad blood between it. But this is Luke judges. He said, they said it couldn't be done. The XRP army going behind enemy lines. See you at solana conference main stage 2026. And there he is right there. There's Luke Judges cool partner success lead for Ripple X Ripple Labs. And so this will be pretty good. This is happening 11 through 13 December 2025 solana.combreakpoint you go check it out. So I like, I like some of the stuff that Luke posts. He posts good stuff and we've read it here last couple of days. So it's always really good. Right? See that right there. Love David. Love. Love David. Love. There you go gots to love it. Yeah, you do know the thing. You know it.
Check this out Jeff. This is interesting.
XRPL commons, they've got something cool going on here. Master the XRPL how the XRPL handles secure transactions, multi signing and post quantum cryptography with hands on demos from from theory to production to ready code. Full course available on getbook. Let's check that out. So I got this cool course going on there and you can go over there and pop over there.
Jeff
You need to sign up.
Chip
Yeah, good sign up. And there it is. There's topics, there's the, it's a lot of stuff going on there. Look at all that.
Jeff
A lot of, lot of topics to.
Chip
Cover, a lot of modules, a lot of stuff and then just take a quiz, I will fail it terribly. Knowledge check. Here you are. But anyway that's kind of knowledge out there I think.
Jeff
I like how we're starting, we're starting to see that pick up definitely needed. There's a lot of questions out there that people definitely have. Quick, quick plug for next week. Michael Carbonara, restoring America's freedom and prosperity running for U. S. House of REPs Florida District 25, 24, 25th District candidate, Republican right here on the chain is going to be joining us next week. Next Wednesday December 10th, 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time. So make sure you guys are here for that. You're gonna be super exciting to have him on a lot of things to talk about. He has, he's crypto, he is financial, he is now politics, that's new for him. Great background and we're going to get into how he also has been self funding his campaign. The guy's got a massive net worth, built some amazing companies up and so now he's bringing all that knowledge, he's bringing that success to run against Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in District 25 here in South Florida. So super exciting to have them on next week. That'll be December 10th, so one week.
Chip
From tonight actually Jeff. So that'll be pretty, it's gonna be pretty good. And you know what's so funny is like Debbie Wasserman Schultz before she won all that scandal they kind of like piped up not, not if you're Elizabeth Warren. Like you just get louder and more obnoxious. But that means labor mouse Schultz, my God, please unseat her. She's an annoying creature. My God, she's in your district isn't she?
Jeff
Yes.
Chip
Yes, you say that. Well there's one vote for Michael there we Go, we got one. Well, you and your wife. So that's two and two. I mean, it's so funny to watch Miami start turning red and then you've got Fort Lauderdale.
Jeff
Just probably just the Braxton rower just isn't there yet.
Chip
Palm beach county is the same way. It's ridiculous, Jeff.
Jeff
They're just not there yet. They're coming along. Takes a lot. Need more crypto. That's what it's all about.
Chip
So, yeah, more people.
Well, we talked a little bit about this. ETF flows, Bitcoin salon and XRP spot. ETF saw in net inflows. This is on December 2nd. So while eth spot and ETF saw net outflow. So you look at this. Ethereum saw a negative 9.9 million outflow, you know, going away inflows into 58 mil million dollars of Bitcoin. Solana had 45 million. And look at XRP. XRP had 67.7 million inflows. And like, you know, Ethereum was the only one that really got hit on the negative side. So I don't know if people are just jumping ship, just started selling. I don't know what the thing was. Obviously, you know, markets and not in great shape. So there's that. There's that bit of it.
Already. Man, we just started the show. You can't be rigged already.
Jeff
The excitement of it all.
Chip
Yeah. So that's. That's interesting to see what's going on there also, too, I was going to play this little bit by Hugo right here about Firelight. Here.
Is looking to ensure protocols that.
Jeff
Have already hundreds of billions of dollars in them. You know, these are blue chip protocols that people already trust with hundreds of billions. And the Firelight protocol is being built with the idea that if it's successful, it leads to hundreds, if not trillions more capital coming on chain.
Keith Ellison
And one can imagine what that means for Firelight itself.
Chip
It means success is what it means. I mean, it'd be huge. Yeah, I mean, you're talking about defi. Just like putting, you know, just putting, you know, extra peel on the map itself, which is just fantastic. All the way around. Yeah, all the way around.
Jeff
All the way. Any way you can take it.
Chip
I was trying to get rid of that puppy. Let's try to get rid of that. I was trying to get rid of that for some reason. Well, that's all we have for crypto.
Jeff
That's it.
Chip
Play the video. It's a short fit. It's not like going on in crypto right now, but you got plenty of geopolitics to talk about.
Jeff
Yeah. And this is where everything collides. Because, you know, if you're passionate about crypto, passionate about building, want to see the future, want D5. Well, DEFY just isn't money. Defi is also politics. Right. We need some decentralization. We need to pull away from the centralized control of everything in this country. Trump has had multiple big announcements, and he's committed, and it looks like he can get close to making this happen. And that's removing income tax. And it's amazing to hear some of the statements. And he's been chalking up win after win after win. We're not even a year into this thing yet, getting close to a year in, and he's had more victories across the board than I think any president, you know, before him in such a rapid succession, just one after another after another. And the world's coming together. So we have to really gravitate to what's actually happening. We have to understand it. And then we have to say, okay, if we're passionate, we want to see the development of this new financial asset class. We want to see the building blocks, we want to see the technologies keep developing. Well, then you got to be very aware, Right, Chip, of everything else that's going around around us. What good is all that if you don't have your country? If everything implodes? Like, what's going on in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Right?
Chip
Minnesota. Minnesota. But that's also going on in Dearborn, Michigan. Boy, did I make a great choice in 1992. Holy cow. It was so funny. I was watching this and it. And it was because of Sting that I second guess myself and said, you know what? He's got a good point. It was just this one. And I happen to connect. I happen to watch this really good Sting interview about a real deep dive on his music lyrics. A guy that really knows his stuff inside and out. He was kind of, like, blown away. Like, I'm gonna have to go back and revisit that. Or he's like, he had to really think about some stuff. But I always like a good artist interview when people know are very familiar on a real heavy, granular level. And so I remembered that that was really kind of was that whole thing when he said, yeah, I was. I took a chance on music. Either went to music and saw how that was going to go. Because he was a teacher. He's like, I would have just ended up becoming a headmaster, and then that would have been my life. I want to see my life the next 30, 40 years. Instead, he became one of the premier lyricists and musicians that's wrote a lot of amazing music. So. And I thought the same thing. I'm like, yeah, do I want to go to Ford and retire from Ford and stay there in Dearborn? Which I. It was 30 years ago. I saw it. It was not a good, it was not a good place. So I was like, it's only going to get worse. And sure as it sure as hell it did get worse, a lot worse. And I don't want to be waking up by the prayer, you know, thing going off at 5:00am either, Jeff. So that would have been a good thing.
Jeff
Don't love that.
Chip
Nobody likes that. So.
Jeff
Yeah, we have a winner.
We have a winner.
Chip
All right, Fantastic. Good. Glad you like the new background. See my Josh Allen over there? My Josh Allen bobblehead.
Josh Allen. I was wondering when somebody was going to chime in and say it. It's like what half show? Like we're almost halfway through and Chad man, bing, bing, bing, Bing. Wins, wins.
Jeff
Big winner.
Chip
Yeah. So when Jeff. Jeffrey doing his studio too. So he'll have a new studio soon.
Jeff
It'd be sweet, be awesome.
Chip
Use that to update it every once in a while, Jeff. That's all. You know, a little fresh coat of paint. You know.
It'S always a good thing.
Jeff
Even get a new lemon tree. Maybe I'll get a.
Chip
Income taxes voluntary default until you elect to file the first tax return. The whole thing is really against the Founders wishes. It's. It was never intended. The Federal Reserve, all this stuff. It's like wishing all this stuff into being. It's like just somebody take it to the Supreme Court and just render the Fed. Why would you have a third party that should charge you to coin money for your government when the House of Representatives in charge of that, they can coin their own damn money. Why are we paying. Why are we paying interest to somebody? It's like the most foolish thing you've ever heard.
Jeff
You.
Chip
You want to talk about the biggest scandal in history? The biggest scandal in history since 1913. Talking over 100 years. This thing. Most, most central banks that haven't lasted between 20 or 30, 40, 50 years, they got an expiration date. So that's the other thing. I think Trump hasn't talked a lot about it, but I think that's what's in the plan too. If you can get rid of. Imagine all the money you make, you keep. Wow. How fantastic is that? Like, no trying to figure out, oh, did I, did I have Enough deductions. Am I doing this? Is this deductible Crazy. But the businesses will still pay tax. You know, this is for people. And then what. What's happening in Florida? We're thinking about, you know, Santis, who wants to. He's like, why would you. If you, you buy a house, you pay it off and you got to get taxed on it every year. For what? So for primary homeownership. Dude, I, I can't wait to put. To vote for that on the ballot. It's on. What is it, 20, 26, October coming up.
Jeff
I know. Yep.
Chip
But who's going to vote against that, Jeff? Who's going to say, like, no, I don't want that. Like, who would not vote to not have property taxes? No. Well, that's your primary residence. Right? It's. And businesses will still pay. And if it's not your primary residence, you'll still pay.
Jeff
That's it. That. You know. So. Yeah, so if it's, if you're a homestead, then you're not going to pay. And then everybody else, if it's a second home, you're still paying property tax. But it's been proven, you know, where we don't have, we don't have a state income tax. I would like to see the direction that Trump's moving in right now to get rid of income tax on a federal level. And he's really talking, initially, he was talking 150,000 and under to pay nothing, but he wants to get to a point where it's minimal across the board, and he's looking at all sorts of different ways to bring in more revenue into the, into the country. And when we were prosperous and successful, you know, there were tariffs, and the tariffs were really, you know, fueling the economy. And we get back to that point where we've got a, an economy that's, that's fueled, that's got sufficient revenue, and we're not taxing the people to oblivion. And that's basically what's happening, that middle class are being taxed to oblivion. So you can just barely afford, you know, to survive. And that's what they want. They want everyone to just barely be surviving instead of let everybody have a great opportunity. Now you get to a consumption tax from that. And I think that's the direction, the most probable direction is that you levy some additional consumption tax in the term of some sort of a vat. Now it's just strictly on what you buy. And all the visitors coming in, you know, what you're collecting lots of Tax from them too. So there's a lot of different ways to balance things out. It's going to be a net positive. It's amazing, you know, to rework it. And you see, 1913 was when they ratified the 16th amendment. So how much talk has been on this fair tax that's been going around for, for a while. So we're getting close. Getting close.
Chip
That's a band Aid. Let's do tax a different way. No, let's not do it at all. Let's, let's go back to the founder's wishes, right, but this is the whole thing. What you know, you notice what a panic mode the Federal Reserve's in when all of a sudden revenues are coming in. The Federal Reserve has nothing to do with. It's the first time since 1913 we got rid of tariffs. But, but that's how it used to fund the government. So if you think about it, they're sitting around twiddling and they're like, we have an infinite supply. Yeah, well, let's audit those books. Like, I feel like the audit's coming. Like you have to look, if you think about the sec, you're basically audited every quarter, right? One big audit during the year. You self audit throughout the year and you have one regular audit every three months. You got a report yet? This institution that's charging a crazy amount of, of interest on money that should be coined by the, the U.S. government. Why are we paying? It's like someone doesn't. No one ever has an answer for it, but people have become very complicit. They're like, well, that's just the way it is. No, that's not the, that's just the way it is. This is. If you get rid of the Federal Reserve and you have, and you, if you're able to in a way to pay down a good portion of that debt. Man, life gets really good for a lot of people very quickly. It's going to be a whole different sort of thing. Here's Larry Fink Now. Larry Fink was the guy, Jeff, that swore up and down that anybody in his organization, I guess his kid was buying bitcoin. You're be fired. And you know, in the background they were buying it. They were, they were hating on bitcoin to go down. They buy a bunch and go up. He's not really fooling anybody, but I like that he got kind of go public with being what, what a dumbass he is.
Larry Fink
Here he is called Crypto and index.
Jeff
For, for money laundering, Blackrock and Thieves and thieves, yes.
Larry Fink
Money laundering and thieves.
Jeff
You now have the biggest bitcoin etf. So what happened here? So funny.
Larry Fink
I have very strong views.
Jeff
Such a turnaround doesn't mean I'm not wrong.
Larry Fink
But you, by having strong views, you have to test yourself and ask yourself.
Keith Ellison
And, you know, in my role, I.
Chip
See, you know, thousands of clients a year. I have, you know, governmental leaders, and we have these conversations that my, my.
Larry Fink
Thought process always evolves. And this is a very glaring public.
Chip
Example of, of a big shift, in my opinion.
You're not fooling anybody. We all know, you know, he does. It doesn't make sense. I have strong views. Well, suddenly Jeff and I have strong views. You guys have strong views. What does that have to do with, you know, with the, with the question you were asked of like, why are you suddenly down? Why do you have the largest bitcoin etf? Well, I have strong views. Oh, oh, okay. So you get these just. Plus you got that numb skull on stage from the CNBC total left loon job. He's like, he doesn't press them on. He goes, they all laugh. I'm like, well, that's not what I asked you. What I asked you very specifically was why and how common or strong views. It's unbelievable.
Jeff
Jeff.
Check out Croatia.
Do you actually make any money that tax?
Chip
The best thing about the VAT tax is the name, Jeff. Like, I remember going to Europe and I remember paying VAT tax. I didn't really understand what it was, but then when I understood its value added tax. Now what, you want to talk about an oxymoron? What value is added via a tax? So you have a 25. So in Croatia, it's 25 value added tax. The income tax is 35% free. Health insurance is 16 and a half percent of your income. Your pension is 15% plus 5% city tax at 18 and a half percent of income tax. I love how you phrase that. Free, free insurance. Yeah, well, ask the how much. This is what happens. Yeah, it's free. I like it when I pay for it because I go pay and see a doctor when I need to see a doctor. That's what I like. You know, especially if you're on a cash plan, you see it right away. You don't have to worry about it. You know, there's no, I'm gonna get in line. I mean, we used to see this up in. When I was, you know, I saw a family up in New York and all the Canadians come down because, sure, they got us free. They get on their wait list, it's nine months, like the guy has lung cancer. So they come down and have chemo. It's cheaper to buy it across the border than to sit there and wait in line. Jeff?
Jeff
Well, it's like, it's like everywhere else. Those that rely on the socialist medicine are sick. Those that can actually afford health care pay for it. I mean, that's, country to country is like that anywhere claim to have free health care. Your free health care is significantly lacking now in this country. I would like to do away with health insurance. I think the only thing that we need in this country is catastrophic health insurance. If you go to the hospital, you get in an accident, you know, whatever it might be long term support care. But to go to the dentist for regular checkups, to go to the doctor if you have a cold or you're sick or you're doing a physical, why in the world are you going there and having insurance cover it? What sense does that make? It makes zero sense. Let them be. Why isn't the medical industry in the sick care industry? Why aren't they in the free market? Why are they excluded from the free market? It makes no sense whatsoever. Then, then you have, there's no regulation on many of these providers to then actually provide good quality service and know what they're doing. And you know, you think about the pharmaceuticals that they distribute and disseminate. Are those pharmaceuticals that they're pumping into people that are advertised all over tv. Do they have your best interest at heart or is it the next, you know, pharmaceutical rep? They came through and said, hey, look at this, you know, shiny toy, you know, here, you know, start sending these, you know, giving these to people. Just get rid of insurance, homeowners insurance, car insurance, you know, it's catastrophic insurance. That's it. That's the only thing we need. We don't need all this other ancillary noise and that. All it is is a transfer of wealth. The insurance companies post massive profits and they're gouging the people and it's this. Well, and the reason why this can happen, it's all going to go back to a blockchain based audit system where it's 100% transparent to. So you actually know what's, what's happening. Obviously, in, in a public domain, it's going to be really critical with government. You know, we want a fast audit. Well, here you go. Put everything into this, into this blockchain. You know, let's make sure that we're providing clear audit, that we're holding our income and our inflow and outflow to account. You're not gonna have what's going on in Minnesota. You're not going to have them sending all this money to these Somalis that end up over in the hands of terrorists. And, and you know, it's, it's just insane that this stuff happens. And then what? Ha. Then when someone gets held to account nowadays, it's like, oh, this is what's happening. And they saw it happening. But they're an elected official. Sorry, you can't do anything about it. You know, just. It's insane.
Chip
Jeff, I. What's really weird is, you know, you know, like during doing show prep, I'll see so many stuff. Things. Like, you'll see them, you'll remember it. Because you can't put everything in there. We already have too many stories right now. We can't get to them.
Jeff
All right?
Chip
The funny thing is, is like, because we talk too much, that's part of the problem. But I saw. So, I mean, what are the, what are the chances that I would be able to find this video? This guy lays it out perfectly. When the government gets involved. Here we go. You can get a plumber to your house in the middle of the night within an hour, but if you go to the er, you could wait six hours.
Jeff
Why the federal government never tried to.
Chip
Make plumbing affordable and accessible.
Keith Ellison
You can buy an 85 inch television for $1,000, but a dialysis machine costs $30,000.
Jeff
Why the federal government never tried to.
Chip
Make televisions affordable and accessible.
Jeff
You can get Lasik surgery done for $1,500 because it's not covered by Medicare.
Chip
Or Medicaid because it's elective. But if you get a major surgery, it could cost you $100,000.
Jeff
Why the federal government never tried to make Lasik affordable and accessible.
Keith Ellison
Socialism is killing every industry it touches.
Chip
Yep, definitely 100%. Like, for example, last year I got my eyes done, right? I got my lip, both my lenses replaced with these. You know, there's three different. There's three levels. There's like a basic level, there's like a mid range. And I got like the Steve Austin, you know, bionic eye that allows me to see all this kind of cool stuff, close fire or whatever. And it's not covered by insurance. So they're like, they're like, they're talking to me like this. Well, look, it is really expensive. You know, if you're gonna have this thing done, you're gonna have to pay cash. And I'm thinking Jesus, how much does this cost? It's like 20,000 and I. 40,000. I mean, you have some small procedure done. I had some blood work and I looked at it. It was $5,300 for some blood panels. 5,300 bucks. I'm thinking, he's. And the more he. The, the guy, the doctor is telling me, I'm thinking this is going to be expensive. He's like, I go, how much is it per eye? Like, how much is it for both eyes? He goes, it's like three, 300 an hour. I'm like, okay, so it's like seven grand out the door. He's like, yeah. I'm like, okay, cool, let's do it. I was like. But I was. The way he was like talking about it because you know why, Jeff? Because the federal government never tried to make lens replacements affordable.
Jeff
That's.
Chip
It's a. It's a sad thing, but it's true. What is this Jim D. Saying? I just had Medicare pay $99,000. What paid the shot of a. Yeah, okay, so that's funny because I had the AFIB thing last year. I had the AFIB going on, so I had to get the abrasion. It's called. I didn't look at the bill, but my God, a hundred thousand dollars to that for the abrasion shock. This is this, this is why it's so screwed up. Because then you've got people who go to hospitals, have no insurance, never pay, and so you got to jack up the rest of the bills to make it profitable. Meanwhile, hospitals are closing all over the US because they're not profitable. I'm like. Because during COVID they were getting paid. Somebody came in dead. Two car accident. Both people died. Well, you test them and if they had coveted and you get paid for each one of them that turns out they both had Covid. The numbers soared up through the roof. And it was all a farce. Every single bit of it, Jeff. The whole thing. You know what time it is for. Time to play that kick ass video, guys. You want to see the. Another stellar amazing video. Let's roll this one, guys, please turn your speakers up, sit down, get your coffee, get your drink, get your smoke and kick back. And let's watch this.
Jeff
Watch this.
Chip
And type YETI too. Type YETI while you're at it. We only have five in here so far.
Jeff
That's it. Yeah. Type yeti. Let's get him. Rolling, rolling, rolling. Here we go.
Yeti Narrator

Chip
You.
Yeti Narrator
Badass yet it badassery on the chain is on the chain.
Right here. Brought to you by Badassery Coffee.
Jeff
Boom. There you go.
Chip
Wow. I saw Paul Anka in there. Like Paul Anka. No, that's not Paul. I'd say it's a little cherry popping Daddy maybe.
Jeff
Yeah, exactly. There's a little bit, A little bit of cherry popping daddy in there.
Chip
Yeah, a little bit of that. A little bit of little.
I'm a ladies guy. That was pretty. That was pretty solid, man. So we got eight Yetis in there. Eight in the drawing. Hey, two win. Harry Connick. Maybe a little Harry Connick. There you go. Yeah. Royal Crown review, which was my favorite out of the 90s of those type of bands. Another one is amazing and let's see. So let's go to Rubio, man. People.
People think JD is going to be the nominee. I'm like, Rubio's crushing skulls like in, in, in eating this for breakfast. I'm. The guy is like, take. I don't know what JD's doing. JD's a good dude, but he's kind of like half asleep half the time. The thing is, is Rubio's got a little fire in his belly. Maybe because Trump used to call him Little Mark all the time. But he's got some fire. He's got some fire in the belly. And JD is just like he's like mono. He's like.
And I just like what? You know, he doesn't have that cult of personality, but Rubio unleashed this week, man, holy cow. Here he is talking about radical Islam.
Marco Rubio
All radical Islamic movements in the world identify the west writ large, but the United States in particular as the greatest evil on the earth. And every chance to have the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria is just not borne out by history. Radical Islam has shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one part of the world and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want to expand. It's revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more territories and more people. And radical Islam has designs openly on the west, on the United States, on Europe. We've seen that progress there as well. And they are prepared to conduct acts of terrorism in the case of Iran, nation state actions, assassinations, murders, you name it, whatever it takes for them to gain their influence and ultimately their domination of different cultures and societies. That's a clear and imminent threat to the world and to the broader west, but especially to the United States, who they identify as the chief source of evil on the planet. The reason why they hate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the leadership of the uae, of Bahrain, is because they've allowed the United States to partner with them. That's why they hate them. They consider them infidels for it.
Chip
They.
Marco Rubio
They hate Israel, but they also hate America. And they hate anywhere in the world that we have everything they seek to attack it, including here in the homeland. If you look at the domestic terrorists, at the attacks that happen here domestically, the overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints. And that includes the shooting in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. That includes the Saudi pilot in Pensacola, my home state. Two attacks.
Jeff
Yep, there you go.
Chip
Spot on, Jeff. Here he is in the Cabinet meeting. By the way, I saw an interesting stat today. Jeff, check this out. So far, not even in a year into the Trump presidency, he's held nine cabinet meetings. Do you want to take a guess on how many cabinet meetings Joe Biden held over four years? And one of them was done by Jill Biden.
Jeff
You want to get like two or three, maybe four.
Chip
It was eight.
Jeff
Eight total.
Chip
Eight over four years. Trump's already done nine, 10 months in, so that tells you something. Here's Rubio in the Cabinet meeting, and he's still going off. He's getting mad, Jeff. I like it. I like what he's bad.
Jeff
And I can go down the list.
Marco Rubio
Why has he focused on mass migration? It's very simple. Because no country is safe if you can just walk in without us knowing who you are, into your country. We've seen the destruction that that's wreaking, not just in our own country, but the impact that it's having in Europe and in many, many other parts of the world. You talk about trade deals and the trade situation.
Jeff
There you go.
Chip
There you go crushing it. He's right. You walk in any part of the world, and if you think about it, Jeff, it's just. It's. It's insane, right? Like, and how have people become so desensitized by this? Like, I really don't even understand, like, how they. They've gotten to a point of where they just accept it. It's like, look, Ben, if you boil it down, a country down to three things. Language, culture, border. If you lose two of those, you don't have a country anymore. If you lose all three, there is no country. We talk about that all the time. Like, culture. You know, go to France because I want French culture. I want French food. I want to experience the Parisians. I want to see what that's like. I go to England. If I go to Wales, if I go to, you know, Northern Ireland, you know, Ireland, I want to feel the culture. If I go there and it looks like, you know, West Africa. I'm sorry, man. I'm just. That's not. There's not a whole bunch of white people invading, you know, these other countries, right? So, you know, and it. To me, it's not even about white people. It's about the. Because if you look at. Look at Israel, right? You have Arabs. You have 2 million Arabs in there. What's the total population of Israel, roughly?
Jeff
Probably about 7 million.
Chip
Seven? Yeah, about 7 or 8 million, something like that. Maybe 9, 20% of the inhabitants there are Arabs. And like this, like, if you tell that to somebody, say, 20 of the people that live there peacefully. We've got a great video of a clip of a. A woman who's a there, who drives a bus there, and she's like, no, I'm respected. I'm one of the. I'm beloved. You know, I mean, this. This whole idea of. Of trying to separate people, their beliefs, it's insane. Jeff, I don't know how old this girl is, but the way she speaks, she. She looks young to me, but, you know, she could be 23, who knows? But she looks like a kid. Everyone looks like a kid to me. But just Listen to her talk. How succinctly she nails this. Jeff, listen to this.
Laura Loomer
Gonna say it. I don't care if it makes me sound cruel and heartless. I don't care that you want a better life. Sorry. Do you know how many people are out there right now with horrifically depressing sob stories? And yet they don't get exemptions from our laws.
Jeff
So?
Laura Loomer
So why should you? There are American citizens sitting behind bars right now because they broke our law. And I'm sure I could find you some gut wrenching videos of them being separated from their family, of their children screaming and crying that they don't want their parent taken away from them. And yet they were. Because you do the crime, you do the time and the reasonable expectation when you come into a country illegally is to be deported. If you don't want to be separated from your family, then you should probably make better choices. The same way that if I decided to go out and rob a bank because that money would make my life better, I would still pay the consequences for doing such. So why are you so special? You know who probably wants a better life right now? Jocelyn Nungarry's family. A 12 year old little girl who was brutally raped and then murdered subsequently by an illegal alien. She will not get to live the rest of her life because Joe Biden's administration thought that they didn't have to actually enforce laws that are there in order to help keep Americans safe. I'm sure that they want a better life that they will never get because of the failure of his administration. So you can spare me with this nonsense. We all have a sob story there. A dime a dozen. Tell it, walk in because I don't give a shit. You do not get special privileges. You do not get to sit there taking $16.2 billion per year from taxpayers dollars where they're sitting there struggling to just make ends meet. I'm sure they want a better life. I'm sure they want their taxpayer dollars to go towards actually helping them. So why should we be giving you special privileges? Make it make sense.
Jeff
Make it make sense.
Chip
Make it make sense. Don't give a better life. Make a good point. Like there's tons of sob stories, right? Parents have been gone to jail. They got young kids. You know, the kids grow up without a parents. Look, I mean, tons of sob stories. But look, the bottom line is you break the law, you gotta, you gotta. There's some repercussions for it. That's just the way it works. Bam. Says Mark kid. I mean total Totally nailed it, man.
Jeff
Tell it walking.
Chip
12 year old girl. I wonder what's long until liberals think robbing a bank is racist. You know? You know, that would have sounded outrageous, maybe even three or five years ago. It sounds like this is a thing already. It sounds like it's. You've already spoken it into existence. Visual Vendetta that a 12 year old can put. How much longer between Robin rights. He's just the robber. Bay. Tell it walking. That was funny. Tell it walking.
Jeff
That was so walking.
Chip
She did not even slow down. She was choking on her word. She was going so fast. I thought she was gonna have a heart attack. My God.
Jeff
That was something insane, that little segment.
Chip
Yeah, it was. That was. That was like. I was on fire. I was like pure hellfire right there. Here we go. This. Here we go right here. We've got Rep. Keith himself hearing. This is. This is good here too, Jeff. Listen to this.
Keith Ellison
Mr. Chairman, I speak in support of HR 4397, the Muslim Brotherhood Terror Designation act of 2025.
Chip
Wait, wasn't this one of Trump's promises that he was gonna. He's talked about it several times. He's gonna make the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, which it is, and it's listed as such in multiple countries, not the US Isn't the first one to do it.
Keith Ellison
Led by representatives Mario Diaz Balart and Jared Moscow, Miami, this bill would designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization and and establish a process for designating its members, branches and affiliates as terrorists. The bill amends the Anti Terrorism act and treats the Muslim Brotherhood in the same manner that the plo, the Palestine Liberation Organization, was treated during the height of its terrorist activities. It would prohibit Americans from transacting with the Brotherhood and prevent its members from entering the United States. This legislation would codify key elements of President Trump's responsibility. Recent executive order and provide a permanent statutory framework to address the ongoing threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood and its violent offshoots. Despite its efforts to present itself as a mainstream political or social movement, the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates are rooted in an extremist ideology with a long history of supporting terrorism. Founded in 1928 by Hassan El Bana in Egypt, the Brotherhood's stated goal from the beginning was to establish a global caliphate based on Islamic supremacy, to restructure societies and governments according to its interpretation of Sharia, and to advance a radical agenda. When I was stationed in Egypt under Mubarak, Mubarak was still there. He had Egyptian armed forces kick down doors and simply shoot who was in the room. Muslim Brotherhood. While the Brotherhood often maintains plausible deniability, many of its branches and affiliates provide the ideological justification, financial support and recruitment pipelines for jihadist violence. The Brotherhood has directly inspired or supported terrorist organizations including Hamas and Al Qaeda. Its influence extends across the Middle East, Europe and into the United States. The violence and instability it has fueled has already led Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE and Egypt to ban the organization outright. This bill would bring US policy into alignment with our key regional partners. More importantly, the Muslim Brotherhood provides material support to US designated terrorist organizations. That fact is not speculation. It is documented in the Brotherhood's own internal strategy papers, including the 1991 Explanatory Memorandum on the general strategic goal for for the group in North America, a document that was seized by the FBI in.
2004 and admitted as evidence in the Holy Land foundation terrorism financing trial. That document, written by a senior Muslim Brotherhood leader in the United States, explicitly describes the Brotherhood's work here as a kind of, and I quote kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house so that Islam is made victorious over all other religions and civilizations. It lists dozens of Brotherhood front organizations operating in the United States and outlines a long term plan to infiltrate and undermine American institutions through a corporate quote civilization jihadist process. That's the mother the Muslim Brotherhood's own description of its mission on American soil in its own words recovered by our law enforcement. The threat that this violent Sharia extremist group opposes to America is clear. The evidence is overwhelming and the time to act is now. Designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization is long overdue. Do and I urge my colleagues to support HR 4397. And I yield back.
Jeff
And just taking that one step further, you've got Governor Greg Abbott has formally requested that Treasury Secretary Bassant revoke the tax exempt status of care, the Council of Islamic American Islamic Relations. And Abbott has designated CARE a terrorist organization because of its long standing ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in Hamas and its ongoing support of terrorism. CARE is one of the organizations, the offshoot organizations that self was talking about because it looks innocuous and it goes in and works in government, it works at school boards, local community effort, but their overall objective in the leadership and at one point it's been a little while, but Joe Kaufman, he's also running for Congress here in Florida, but he actually has done a lot of research and has called CARE to the, to the mat many different times and had embarrassed local politicians for receiving awards from CARE and had them rescind or return the awards, you know, because of the public humiliation of taking an award from a terrorist LinkedIn organization.
Chip
The.
Jeff
The linkage goes back a long time, and their leadership positions have direct ties. And it's not like it's hidden, it's not like it's made up, but it's just very easy to connect the dots. The thing is, the reason why it's so easy for an organization like CARE to work here is one people are afraid of being labeled racist or, you know, Islamophobic or whatever it is. For whatever reason, they're not willing to call out an organization that has direct ties to terrorism. Somehow we've become brainwashed and weak in this country. But for the most part, people don't understand. They don't know. They don't do their due diligence. They don't research it and see the lineage and the interconnect between the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas and how CARE is. Gets funding from Hamas, you know, and it looks in it, but it's here in the US it operates here, and leadership come directly over and have all these ties. There's a mosque in Cooper City that they had a school that the leadership of the school had direct ties back to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and they have a mosque in Cooper City in Florida. You know, so there's like all these interconnections and people are just oblivious to it. You know, the town council, I was at one of the events, and they brought in front of the town council, the town council just put their heads down, you know, because I don't know if they're getting money. I don't know what the deal was, you know, but they were just not willing to even acknowledge reality. And it's amazing to me, but people are waking up. Thanks. Thank you to Trump again, President Trump, for allowing all of this to come to fruition. Right. Because it's finally all of these other political representatives, from the congressional representatives to, you know, House Senate governors like Governor Abbott are willing to step up. Marco Rubio, you know, the guy is just like, you know, he just let all the chains and the handcuffs off. You know, the guy's just. Just out there. It's amazing to see, you know, finally people are standing up. The last president that took a stand was. Was Bush, you know, after 9, 11, when he was standing on, you know, an people out there, you know, and they. Any, you know, it was just. But that was it. But then, you know, look at the endless, you know, kind of nation building and all the stuff that went on after that. You can't nation build in those countries. Look at what we got for it. What do we get out of Afghanistan? You know, just more of the same. It's the same group of people, you.
Chip
Know, just let them burn it to the ground.
Jeff
Yeah, that's it. You know, it's amazing.
Chip
It's just vendetta. Says, I agree with you, Mark. Plausible. The democrats are forming a terrorist organization to overthrow this country. Sorry. They don't have the weapons, they don't have the talent, they don't have the energy, they don't have rednecks. Yeah, I always play that club with the rednecks. That's the problem. They don't have rednecks. So ain't no rednecks on the, on the left. No, no, no. Islam, Islamism is the problem. Not Islam itself. No, no, the Muslim. So, so Islam is Sharia law. It's all that stuff. Look, you cannot, if your basic tenet of your so called religion, I call it so called because if it says behead people and kill people that don't believe as you, that's, that is Islam. Muslims follow Islam. You could say, now there are more secular type Muslims that don't really get into the, the nitty gritty. But those, you know, most of most Muslims are peace loving. They're, they live in peace. I mean they're not, they don't want any of this stuff. You can clearly see what's happening in Egypt, you can see what's happening in Saudi Arabia. They're all Muslims. But if you're going to follow Sharia law, you're gonna, you're gonna implement, you know what, basically that says kill people that don't believe. You first attack the crap out of them. If they don't convert, then you, then you get allowed to be had them like that can't be in the name of any religion. There can't be anybody who commands you to kill everybody who doesn't think like you. Sorry. It's just, it's, I have a big, I have a big problem with that. The truth is the moderate Muslims do not talk against them. That's because they'll get beheaded. The same goes for the, for the Muslims who talk over it. If you're a Muslim, you stand up and say this is wrong, you're done. And they know it because that, that's a free pass to kill. Especially if you live in one of these, you know, third world, you know, Muslim countries. That's basically a pass where you're going to get slammed, sir. John says every old Islamic city is Jewish quarter attached to the Royal Quarter. Never problems until radicalization, of course. Yeah, you don't have any problem in Israel because that same thing. I wanted to move on a little bit to Elon Omar. Ilhan Omar, she's another nutter. She import hundreds of thousands into Minnesota, Minneapolis specifically. And yeah, they all vote a crazy nut job Muslim in there. So here we go.
Tim Waltz
They have a representative, Ilhan Omar, who they say married her brother. It's a fraud. She tries to deny it now, but you can't really deny it because, you know, it just happened. She shouldn't be allowed to be a congresswoman, and I'm sure people are looking at that. And she should be throwing the hell out of our country. And most of those people, they have destroyed Minnesota.
Chip
Okay?
Tim Waltz
Minnesota, you have an incompetent governor. You have a crooked governor. He's crooked as hell, but he's incompetent. Incompetent.
Waltz is to be ashamed. That beautiful land, that beautiful state, and all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She's always talking about the constitution. Provides me with.
Go back to your own country and figure out your constitution. All she does is complain about this country. Without this country, she would not be in very good shape. Shape probably wouldn't be alive right now. So Somalia is considered by many to be the worst country on earth.
Jeff
I don't know.
Tim Waltz
I haven't been there. I won't be there anytime soon.
Chip
I don't think so. Trump's going to go to Somalia. What?
Tim Waltz
Somalia. What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is. Is not even believable. It's not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor.
Jeff
Yep, definitely starts with the governor.
Chip
He went on and on. But. But Elon Omar, like, she. She pretends like she's some refugee in this. But a lot of people don't know this. And I want. I did see this clip, but, you know, I've talked about this before. Jeff, listen to this. Here's who. Here's who Ilhan Omar really is. Ilan Omar is an example, okay? She comes from a family, and they call her a refugee who came from Somalia. Right?
Jeff
They call her a refugee.
Chip
Her family were the governing party, the Marxist Islamist government in Somalia, who were overthrown and then fled. Now, technically, that makes for a refugee, but she wasn't fleeing oppression, or rather, her family weren't fleeing oppression. They were fleeing justice. They were their own people. Holding, holding them to account for the dictatorship that they had established. So you have people like the Omar family and what do they do? Do they come to America and see America and go, okay, this is pretty cool. They're not oppressing each other. Let's be part of this. No, they go, hey, how can we oppress them? You know, how can we bring Marxism to America? That's, that's the thought process. And it may be a passive thought process, but it's the thought process process.
Jeff
It's the exact thought process. All, all purposeful, nothing by accident.
Chip
Oh yeah.
Jeff
All 100.
Chip
100. So here we go. Here's. Listen, let's say I just love all the videos that pop up in my feed. Check this out.
Jeff
Amazing.
Marco Rubio
70,000, 80,000 Somalis sent to Minnesota so they can vote in Ilhan O. Omar. That's how it was set up. Do you know that they are inbred so much that they IQ is between 60 and 80.
If y' all don't get y' all fraudulent scamming, cross eyed, big foreheaded incestual asses up out of here. We know you married your brother. Take y' all illegal scamming asses on. Get out. I'm on my way to Minnesota. I'm on my way to ask you questions. You didn't want to say nothing to the white boy that was asked. You wanted to threaten the white boy. But I bet you won't threaten me. I bet you won't tell me to get the on. I bet I won't. Let's go to Minnesota. Let me go get my. Let me call my brother and my best friend and let's start a TV show. Let's go around to all these damn places and figure out what the is going on. I'm already in Dearborn. Let's start there first. Those need to go to.
Chip
La. It d I detected some anger there, Jeff.
Jeff
Oh my God, that's so awesome.
Chip
So here's so Laura Lumer. Her, her crew cornered Ilhan Omar asking her questions and this is how she reacted. Listen to this woman.
Jeff
Do you agree with President Trump's assumption that you married your brother to get citizenship?
Have you begun packing your bags for Somalia yet, Congresswoman?
Chip
Not going anywhere.
Jeff
So you're not.
Keith Ellison
No.
Jeff
Don't waste your energy on me. Do you have a message for President Trump?
Chip
Be here probably longer than Trump.
Jeff
Do you have a message for President Trump?
Chip
Like a quarter of his age.
Jeff
Do you have anything else you'd like to say?
Chip
Some old man losing his mind. I don't know why? He's obsessed with me.
Jeff
Interesting.
Chip
Well, thank you, Congresswoman.
Jeff
At this stupid, stupid girl on the right.
They're smart.
You just gotta love it. It's too much.
Chip
Then we have this video right here talking about corruption that's happening in Minnesota.
I
Billion dollar welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota was enabled by DEI. Let me explain. Between 2020 and now, federal prosecutors say that more than a billion dollars was stolen from Minnesota's social service programs and funneled to fraudulent non profits like Feeding Our Future. These organizations claimed services for tens of thousands of children who didn't exist. Instead, taxpayer dollars went to funding luxury houses, high end cars, jewellery, overseas real estate projects, and worst of all, Al Shabaab, an Islamist terrorist group in Somalia. Now, new reporting shows that the Minnesota Department of Education officials noticed red flags early. They questioned invoices that made no mathematics political sense. They noticed new feeding centers were registered in strip malls that were basically empty. They saw providers claiming to serve more meals than there were children living in entire zip codes. And every time they tried to investigate, they were hit with the same accusation. If you expose this, it's racist. That's because Feeding Our Future was run by American citizens of Somali heritage. When the state began scrutinizing their applications, the organization filed a discrimination complaint with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and later sued the Department of Education, accusing it of racial bias and discrimination. Feeding Our Future weaponized DEI by telling the Minnesota Department of Education that failing to promptly approve new applicants from minority owned businesses would result in a lawsuit featuring accusations of racism that would be sprawled across the news in the Post. George Floyd climate that threat carried enormous political power, so agencies backed off, approvals kept flowing and the fraud exploded. Most of the people charged in this fraud are a tiny fraction of of Minnesota's Somali community, which is now stuck with the stigma created by a small group of offenders and a state government too scared to enforce basic rules. Minnesota is now shutting down programs, launching audits and trying to rebuild oversight that should never have collapsed in the first place. What happened wasn't just fraud. It was fraud that thrived because people put the desire to prop up diversity, equity and inclusion over reality. And in the end, the taxpayers and residents of Minnesota are the real losers.
Chip
I saw the Free Press and I thought it was the Detroit Free Press, but it's not the Free Press, it's the Free Press. I was like this. There's no way this could be the Trifle Free Press, but there's just no way. There ain't no way. Of course it's called The Free Press. Not affiliated. This one's like an independent journalism. Of course, you're not gonna get that. You're not going to get that level of reporting in detail. And a little sound bite right there. Very well and succinctly done. And this guy here gets asked one question, and this is how he responds. Jeff, I want to come back and I want to hear what your thoughts on how he answers this question.
Tim Waltz
I am a woman of color.
Chip
Yes.
Laura Loomer
Yes.
Tim Waltz
I am the daughter of immigrants.
Chip
I am a Muslim.
Tim Waltz
I am a feminist.
Chip
I am a lefty liberal.
I wouldn't have ever did that. And what I want to ask you.
Tim Waltz
Is, am I your enemy?
Jeff
You're not subjectively my enemy. But what you are promoting will lead.
Chip
To the disappearance of my people and my culture.
Jeff
And I will tell you this.
Chip
It annoys me tremendously when I'm told.
Jeff
By some immigrant or a child of.
Chip
Immigrants that the only reason my country.
Jeff
Is worthwhile is because people like them have come here.
Chip
It's as if to say, my ancestors.
Jeff
Built a dung heap. And I don't doubt your goodwill, but your goodwill is objectively going to.
Chip
To lead to the oblivion of my people.
Jeff
I'm sorry, there is no other way to see it.
Chip
That's. Jeff.
Jeff
It's. It is. You know, that's. It's interesting because, yes.
The people coming here, like that woman that was talking, they're not coming here to become Americans because they're proud of America. They're coming here to fundamentally change America. You know, so I think when he said, you know, it's going to fundamentally change, you know, his people, his culture, it's every. Everything before that. I mean, he is talking about, you know, all. Oh, is he referencing, you know, all immigrants that have come here? I. I don't think so. I think he's really referencing, you know, I would think, who knows who this guy is specifically, you know, in. In relation to what he's, you know, his thought process on that. But.
My opinion on it is, yes, there are people coming here in mass numbers that don't want to build this country in the image of the forefathers. They want to fundamentally change it. Elon Omar is coming here because they want to radicalize it into some Islamic caliphate. They want to fundamentally change the. The culture here. They've all seen the United States as enemy number one, and they know that the only way to beat the United States is to try to tear it down from within. And the more changes they can make towards Marxism, communism, Islamist dictatorship, the. The closer they get and so they're, they're seeding other country all around, trying to bring collapse in, in different regions. And so yes, you know, 100. That woman is, is an enemy of this state, of this country because they're not here again to, to build it up. They're, they're exactly, you know, they're coming here to tear it down. So what are your. That's, that's how I analyze it.
Chip
Yeah, I mean, I think he says it right. You're subjectively not my enemy per se, but the group collective is. There is not going to be a situation and you are going to follow the tenets of Islam and Sharia law, which commands you to kill and take over and rape and pillage. And that's kind of how it is. I mean, Vikings did that, you know, a thousand years ago. I mean, you had a lot of this stuff. A lot of the, A lot. If you look around the world, there was a lot of barbarism. There was a lot of crazy stuff that went on. Well, it hasn't changed in third world countries. They want to bring that here. We don't. Nobody wants it. They don't want it in Europe. They don't want it here. And what happens is this whole idea of this world of racism, everything in the name of racism. The one lady says it beautifully. The whole. In the name of dei. So, so, so you went, you countersued and then they backed off. Okay, so every. If you're gonna. This is the problem with the left is everything becomes a trigger point. It's like, oh, racism, oh, I was offended. Oh, gender this and that. It's like, listen, man, we live in reality, like, like the young girl said, you come here, you break the law, you get deported. There's no, you don't, you don't have any, any other sort of a, you know, a chance to do anything different. I mean, why, why, why should you. Right? We talked about the big win in.
VS1. Now we were told, Jeff, just a week ago that he was up by as much as 23 points in a state that went plus 22 for Trump. Right. Trump last night said, or the other day, he said, get out and vote. Go vote for this guy. I fully endorse him. Go out and vote. But this is, this is the whole thing. The. They're selling now, traditionally, these little elections don't turn out the vote. Why? Because people are working, they got families, they're doing their normal right. But this is a huge win because we were told, because, look, New Jersey and Virginia basically Blue states, blue people won. And everyone's like, oh, my God, the tide's turning and they hate Trump. No, this is. Look at this.
Marco Rubio
All right, this is a Fox News alert.
Larry Fink
The AP has now called the special congressional election in Tennessee for Republican Matt.
Marco Rubio
Van Epps a major win for House Republicans. President Trump just posted on Truth Social.
Larry Fink
Congratulations to Matt Van Epps on his.
Marco Rubio
Big congressional win in the great state of Tennessee. The radical left Democrats, they threw everything.
Larry Fink
They had at him, including millions of dollars.
Marco Rubio
Another great night, the Republican Party.
Chip
He won by 9.9 percentage points. And they would have you believe. And you know, look, these little time, they didn't even turn out. But the fact is there, he was going to get destroyed by 20 points. I mean, you can never believe this stuff, Jeff. And here's another great report.
Jeff
Want to disenfranchise people.
Chip
It does. It, it ex. Because people don't think that their vote matters. And they're like, what's the point? And, you know, until you fix elections and you start voting, we've already, you know, we've already uncovered the fact that these people were given Social Security numbers. Social Security numbers got voter cards. They were all voting because they were legally able to vote. So this is. It wasn't fair. You know, then, then the mail in ballots and they just dump them. There's no checks and balances on where it comes in. Anything that comes in is good, doesn't matter. No checking. There's no address checking, there's no background check in. There's none of that stuff. So. But this was a great report on what's going on in Minnesota with Tim.
Larry Fink
Walls shutting off the money faucet for fraudsters. Somali pirates in Minnesota looted us for a billion with a B. And that doesn't count all the welfare we handed out after importing them here. And now it's time for a refund.
Chip
You told me to look into Minnesota.
Laura Loomer
And their fraud on visas and their programs.
Chip
50% of them are fraudulent, which means that that wacko Governor Walls either is.
Laura Loomer
An idiot or he did it on purpose.
Jeff
And I think he's both.
Chip
Sir, we're going to remove them and we're going to get our money back.
Larry Fink
The Somalis are upset that the free money and fraud are coming to an end.
Chip
We need leaders who will invest in our neighbors, not attack them. The Somali community in Minnesota is a.
Jeff
Backbone of the state, Really. A backbone of the state.
Larry Fink
Billions were stolen. We don't owe the Somalis anything. Now Tim Walls is under investigation by the Treasury Department and Congress.
Jeff
They need to focus on the war.
Marco Rubio
Crimes that are coming up. They need to focus on making.
Chip
This is called panic.
Jeff
Yep.
Chip
They've got the receipts. They go back to the 2021 where they were telling Harris, the VP, do something about this guy. He's. He's. He's quieting whistleblowers. He's doing this. He ignored it all because they thought they were invincible. Now listen to him trying to pass the buck here.
Jeff
Life more affordable.
Marco Rubio
They need to focus on the issues they're dealing with. But this is a president in spiral, doing nothing to make life cheaper for Minnesotans or Americans.
Larry Fink
So Waltz lets pirates plunder his booty, and he thinks Trump spiraling.
Tim Waltz
I think the man's a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD Destroy him in the Defendant. I was saying, who was more incompetent, that man or my man? I had a man, and he had a man. There's something wrong with him, okay? There's something wrong with him.
Larry Fink
Democrats in Minnesota are panicking. The money's drying up, and their biggest voting blocks going adios. The pirates donated thousands to the mayor of Minneapolis, and now he's telling ICE to leave the Somalis alone.
Jeff
Yep.
Larry Fink
He also said this to our Somali community.
Chip
This is too much, dude.
Somalia.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Chip
Minnesota got a han. Minneapolis.
Larry Fink
Juan Kuji Janilahai.
Chip
Juan, here's a bigger seller. The weird thing was this guy won over the Somali guy, but the only reason the Somali guy didn't win, because he looked like the guy from the Tom Hanks movie. The pirate from that movie, Right? With the weird fingers, you know? Yeah, I don't know. He was a little too creepy looking. Had they always got the weird eyes going on, you know, the weird eyes. So this guy sold out. He did all the speeches and whatever their native tongue is. I don't know. Somali. Whatever. It's unbelievable.
Larry Fink
We don't speak Somali, but he probably didn't say, give us the money back. Ilhan Omar also got donations from the scammers. Oh, so the Somalis stole money from tax taxpayers and donated it to Democrats, huh? And the Democrats never looked into this, huh? And she's not the only one. Minnesota's AG Keith Ellison was supposed to be stopping the fraud. He was caught on tape talking to the crooks one month before the FBI raided their headquarters. They said government agencies were racist. And the attorney general said he'd make a call.
Chip
Just getting the question. Just getting the inquiry from Beijing is sometimes enough to make people knock it off. Sure.
Larry Fink
Then they started talking cash.
Chip
And we are willing to put our.
Marco Rubio
Money where our mouths are, in that sense, helping elected officials that are interested in protecting communities of color specifically.
Larry Fink
So Ellison said this meeting isn't about money. But a few weeks later, donations were dropped into his account. And now he's playing the race card.
Chip
He wants us pointing fingers at each other while he and his cronies run a scam on America.
Marco Rubio
Weaponizing negative stereotypes and racism against our.
Chip
Neighbors is morally wrong.
Larry Fink
White people get blamed for stuff their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. But you're not allowed to punish Somalis for ripping us off today.
If we're so bad, why is everybody trying to come here? Maybe because their country's not so great. Ask the Somalis.
Tim Waltz
I don't want them in our country. I'll be honest with you, okay? Somebody will say, oh, that's not politically correct. I don't care. I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks. These aren't people that work. These aren't people that say, let's go. Come on. Let's make this place great. These are people that do nothing but complain. They complain, and from where they came from, they got nothing. You know, they came from paradise and they said, this isn't paradise. But when they come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch, we don't want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.
Chip
Unbelievable. Jeff.
Jeff
It's amazing. It really.
Is like 12 billion a year. Not even. Wait, where in Somalia.
For 2024 was 11.97 billion. What's the population with $737 per capita. So the total population of somalia.
Chip
Wow.
Jeff
Is 18 million.
Chip
Wow.
Jeff
19 million.
Chip
Now, we had, like, our worst. Our small estate does more than that.
Jeff
Yeah. It's incredible, Jeff, to put that in.
Chip
Perspective, look up Rhode Island. What's the GDP of Rhode Island? So I think that's one of the smallest states, isn't it?
Jeff
Yeah. Very small.
The GDP of Rhode island is 65 billion.
Chip
Rhode island, it's like a. It's like a sliver. It's like a. It's so tiny. You drive across in an hour. It's insane. My brother used to live there. I used to go up and see him. It's time for that drawing. Jeff, play that video one more time. Let's get ready to do this drawing. We only have 10 of them in here, so let's see a good chance. 1 in 10. Smithson, get your yeti in there.
Jeff
Get it in. Get your yeti.
Chip
Get your thumb, dude. Put your yeti in there, dude. Come on. Come on now.
Jeff
Come on. Here we go, here we go.
Yeti Narrator
Little prowler steps in like a tuxedo of trouble.
Cute, fearless and ready to rearrange the forest tonight.
Ladies and gents.
Let the giveaway.
Chip
Begin.
Yeti Narrator
And tiny paws tapping in the moonlit snow. Little fluffball strutting with a big time glow don't blink now he pops like a spark boom. He's ignite in the dark don't poke the puff call rocking that winter coat One sing of that sword and your fears go smokey small but he swings like a storm Forest floor shakes when he starts to perform Cute trouble, yeah, he packs that power.
Little problem.
Like a Broadway big showers QBs breaking all the rules.
Tiny king of the forest.
Strapped and normal looking plus not mean Cupcake face with a gangster lean One sip of aery coffee power reload now he's j A bugged up on the hero road enemy bre when he's toddling through he's cute but he remove your dead too. Sword flashing bright like who want smoke? He's the boogie woogie bruiser of the yet evol prowlers Fury in a unfo you claim him now.
Before he claims you.
Badass yeti. Badassery on the chain is on the chain.
Right here. Brought to you by badassery coffee.com.
Chip
Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. That's what they said. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Jeff
Oh, if sir John wins, he's putting sending his yeti to the Somali charity of Minnesota.
Chip
This is too funny. So you just took yourself voluntarily out of these? The algorithm gods. Rod's already saying.
One yet. You haven't actually won anything yet, man. Yeti scan, here we go. Smithson, you put your do you put your yeti in there? He says he's not gonna do it. Come on, everyone's gonna do it. Somebody put in there earlier did has. Does everybody have a yeti by now? I mean, I don't know. I would think so, but if you don't, you go buy one. Here we go, Jeff. Yet we have 11 in here, so go ahead and put the music. And.
Here we go. Boom, boom, boom, boom goes around. Boom, boom. Is it gonna be.
Zober? Zober is the big winner. Zober, you still in the house?
Over. Are you still in the house sober?
Okay, we know what that means.
You know what that means, people?
Jeff
It's for the children. Zilber is the winner look at that boom. Look at that quickness. Like the quickness with the quickness.
Man, it's fast. I gotta. Oh, I already had YouTube open.
Chip
Hey man, I am opus clip. I'm running the timer. Jeff. Nothing.
Jeff
He already posted his address just like that.
Larry Fink
Boom.
Jeff
He already sent it just like that.
Chip
I love it, dude. I love it now. I love it.
Jeff
Getting a badass Yeti. Badass Yeti number 7:42. This guy's kick ass.
Chip
It's awesome man. Congrats. Sober, yes.
Jeff
Kick ass.
Chip
Congrats.
And check this out. Jeff, look at this. This is great. Starting next week, 21 Democrat controlled states will lose federal SNAP funding for refusing to comply with USDA anti fraud data requirements. So they're complicit in knowing that they've been ripping it off and they know that's their voting base and they're done. Like tell us you're guilty without telling us you're guilty.
Jeff
That's right. All right, Zober, you own it now it's yours.
Chip
It didn't comply. Where are we now? I had to go turn that damn timer off.
In the states that did not comply, they found 186000 dead people. Social Security numbers being used. 186 000, Jeff. 500000 people that receive benefits more than twice.
Wait, that's three more than twice. Three times multiple people receive benefits in six states.
So people went there and filed in six different states. In February, for the first time ever, the federal government asked for.
All rates to be turned their data to root out the fraud. 29 in red states said yes, 21 blue states said no. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. Amazing. Is that something, Jeff? So they're gonna basically lose all the SNAP butterfits because they do not want to come clean.
Jeff
Thank God. So awesome.
Chip
Yeah. And also yet 800000 were removed from SNAP. 800000 people. Over 500000 people that were getting it more than once. So that's like 1.2 million right there. It's 170 million. Everybody has to re qualify. So that's going to be. So Jeff, you talked about winning earlier. Let's look at the winning. Trump signed legislation that terminates Biden's Green New Deal funding, halt stops billions in IRA and climate spending on renewables and that zero goals revokes mandates for zero emissions and vehicles and federal ops. The EV mandates ends all EV requirements for fleets and industry standards Carbon metrics ends Removes social cost of carbon from regulations. DEI funding cuts DEI programs linked to green initiatives. Paris Accord withdraws from or ignores international climate commit commitments. There's just so much winning going on, Jeff. So much winning going on.
Tim Waltz
Man.
Chip
Man.
Jeff
Wow.
Chip
Winning, winning, winning, winning, winning. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Gotta love it. You have to love it. You have to love it. Snap.
No need for a investigation. It's totally rigged. Of course it's rigged. It's always funny like the corruption in government, except did you ever notice, like when you start talking about voting, it's like, oh, there's no crypto. No, there's no, there's no corruption in voting. That's the one thing that works in government. Everything else is corrupt. But that's the one thing. That's the one thing. Sure.
That's the one thing, Jeff. Okay. Yeah. Okay, gotcha. Anyway, that's all the time we have here. We will be back next Wednesday, Jeff, with a special guest. We got a bunch of guests coming in here. We're gonna be lighting it up in the next couple of months. A lot of cool guests going to be joining us. John Deaton will probably be back in here. So we're talking about his campaign and what he's looking to do. We'll probably have some more political figures on here as well. Hopefully we can get Byron Donaldson here who's running for governor of the great state of Florida. We've had him on the show before, looking to get Hugo Fillion on, looking to get a bunch of other folks on. So there's going to be. It's going to be quite a. Should be a good year. Rolling in a 26.
Jeff
That's it. And we're back on here Saturday morning.
Chip
Actually. I know, I'm just talking about next week.
Jeff
No, I know.
Chip
And Sunday too.
Jeff
So Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.
Chip
Although Saturday is my wife's birthday, Jeff.
Jeff
Saturday.
There he is.
It's next week, next Wednesday market. Go, go. Log in and hit the. Notify me so you get notified when we go live. And we will be as punctual as we possibly can at that 8 o' clock time. Respect to the guest time. So exciting to have him in the, in the podcast. And then I'm going to be hosting him at an event the following evening. So that'll be really cool.
Chip
Back to back. Let's get to meet him in person. Awesome. Interesting. All right, well, I think that's all the time we have, guys. We will be back on Saturday morning. I may or may not be here, but one of us will be here. Standard Time, Eastern Standard Time. So that's all we got, guys. We'll see you on the next one. Shipping Jeff out.

Date: December 4, 2025
Hosts: Jeff & Chip
Platform: On The Chain
In this jam-packed episode, Jeff and Chip dive into the collision of crypto innovation and global geopolitics, highlighting major developments with XRP and Flare’s new DeFi protocol, Firelight. The show also pivots into alarming stories of fraud tied to Somali-linked networks in Minnesota, deep social and political debates in America, and the broader implications of DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) policy backfiring in practice. Woven throughout are a blend of opinion, facts, candid conversation, and signature On The Chain irreverence.
[00:14 – 01:01]
Ripple’s announcement to present on the Solana Conference 2026 main stage is deemed a “showdown” between XRP and Solana.
XRP now leads all ETF inflows, surpassing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
“XRP quietly did the unthinkable... it led all ETF inflows, beating Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Solana.” — Chip [00:46]
BlackRock’s Larry Fink finally admits he’s been wrong about crypto; the host suggests seismic institutional change is underway.
"When the world's largest asset manager bends the knee, you know, something big is coming..." — Jeff [01:01]
[01:20 – 15:25]
Flare announces Firelight, an upcoming DeFi safety layer meant to address longstanding flaws in current protocols.
“The Firelight protocol is being built with the idea that ... it leads to hundreds, if not trillions more capital coming on chain.” — Hugo (clip), introduced by Chip [14:42]
Discussion flows to the broader DeFi landscape, XRP’s strong ETF inflow performance, and Flare’s role in advancing institutional trust in decentralized finance.
[05:54 – 10:19]
David Schwartz shares the true, chaotic early days of XRPL development.
“At the time, it was like you jumped out of an airplane hoping you have everything you need to make a parachute ... you only have so much credibility ... an office for another two months ... half the time we would build things and throw them out.” — David Schwartz (from AMA), played at [07:17]
The community’s romantic narrative of slow, perfectly planned progress is deemed mythic; real innovation was messy and urgent.
Opportunity to “master the XRPL” highlighted via new educational offerings (Master the XRPL course).
[13:31 – 14:30]
[15:39 – 23:24]
Hosts connect the drive towards DeFi and decentralization to the parallel call for political and economic reforms in America.
"Imagine all the money you make, you keep. Wow. How fantastic is that?" — Chip [20:06]
Florida innovations: proposals to abolish primary residence property tax.
Critique of the Federal Reserve: hosts argue for the government to resume direct control of money, not via a third-party central bank.
[26:28 – 33:18]
Extensive (and exasperated) critique of the American health insurance model and the pitfalls of government involvement, anchored by a viral video illustrating market-driven efficiency in elective healthcare (Lasik, lens replacements).
“Socialism is killing every industry it touches.” — Jeff (paraphrasing clip at [32:00])
Discussion includes anecdotes about medical costs, inefficiencies, and calls for blockchain-based audit systems for transparency.
[15:39 – 75:49]
Deep dive into a billion-dollar welfare fraud in Minnesota, linked to Somali-run nonprofits and enabled by DEI-driven oversight failures.
“They noticed new feeding centers were registered in strip malls… providers claiming to serve more meals than there were children living in entire zip codes... and every time they tried to investigate, they were hit with ‘that’s racist’...” — Free Press clip (summarized at [61:45])
Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison (MN) are now under investigation; panic sets in as federal funds get shut off and audits begin.
The Somali community faces stigma due to criminal actions by a fraction of its members, with politicians accused of pandering for votes.
“Minnesota is now shutting down programs, launching audits and trying to rebuild oversight that should never have collapsed…” — Free Press clip [61:45]
[43:03 – 65:13]
Spirited debate around U.S. immigration: hosts and video clips argue many recent arrivals seek to reshape, not join, American culture.
Laura Loomer’s viral statement:
“I don’t care that you want a better life … do the crime, do the time … why are you so special?” — Laura Loomer [43:03]
Analysis of Ilhan Omar’s background and Congressional role, plus claims about Somali-led political influence in Minnesota.
Assertion that DEI, left-leaning politicians, and linked nonprofits weaponize accusations of racism to silence accountability.
[46:03 – 51:47]
[68:19 – 84:34]
"My pillow vs tampon Timmy, governor of Minnesota." — Chip [03:43]
"You do not get special privileges. You do not get to sit there taking $16.2 billion per year from taxpayers dollars..." — Laura Loomer [43:16]
True to On The Chain’s style, the discussion is a heady mix of hard data, unrehearsed hot takes, humor, and in-the-trenches perspective. The tone is conversational and combative, laced with playful irreverence and a strong anti-institution, pro-transparency stance. Quotes, video clips, and community banter break up serious commentary with lighter moments (e.g., YETI giveaways, on-set jokes).
Listeners leave with a sense of how fast-moving developments in crypto and finance now reverberate across politics and culture—institutional victories, complex fraud scandals, calls for a more honest, decentralized future, and relentless scrutiny of current leadership and regulatory systems. The show fires up grassroots energy and promises to keep spotlighting the stories “corporate media won’t touch,” blending blockchain, political, and social crisis into a single, unfiltered narrative.
